What has changed?

Angolan companies may now hire foreign professionals for the provision of services or technical assistance.

The duration of the employment agreement may now be freely agreed between the employer and the employee, and may be renewed only twice.

The amount and currency of a foreign national employee’s salary may once again be freely agreed between the employer and the employee, and may be paid in any currency, rather than exclusively in Kwanzas.

Benefits and allowances are no longer limited to 50% of the employee’s base salary.

Action Items

Employers hiring foreign nationals to work in Angola should check the latest employment regulations with an immigration specialist.
